Afterward
he brought me again unto the door of the house ; and behold waters
issued out under the threshold of the house eastward . . . Then said he
unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down
into the desert, and go into the sea.

EZEK. XLVII. 1, 8.

It was in the 1950-5 that the
Catholic theologian and writer, the Reverend Denis Fahey of Dublin offered to
edit a new edition of Mrs. Fry's book. During his lifetime he was unable to
allow his name to appear as its submission for Eccleiastial Censorship might
have led to complications. The foreword and appendices and a number of notes to
the present edition were the work of Father Fahey.

The authoress, Mrs. L. Fry, was
married to one of the aristocrats of Czarist Russia and she suffered harrowing
experiences in the days of the Bolshevist Revolution. This first hand knowledge
of Communism in action has given authority to her writings. For many years she
was associated with the work of the late French priest Monseigneur Jouin,
helping hime in his researches into the atheistic and Judeo-Bolshevist plot
against Christianity.
